In the old days, a suspected witch was thrown into a pond. If she floated, she had magickal powers and would be killed. If she sank, she would be innocent (though drowned).

I suggest we test these bulldozers by having Rachel's parents lie down in front of them. If they end up flattened, then I would agree that they may have a point.

Or they built a bridge out of her.
